just use google...i found a dozen recipes...

Yep, and itLs really easy, fry a bit of onion and chicken, add rice and ketchup. Prepare an omlette in another pan. Put the rice on a plate and add the omelette on top, add some ketchup as stopping.

You can use beef instead of chicken, add peas or mushrooms to the ricemix and use demi-glace sauce instead of ketchup for the topping. Great comfort food, and anything goes! :victory:

yeah but i think it takes some finesse to properly make the omelette and plate it over the rice...that's the tough part...i'm not a great cook though.

yeah it's a golf ball where they incubate baby octopi inside.....

no. from the wiki:

Takoyaki (‚½‚±Ä‚« or ‘ûÄ, Takoyaki?) (literally fried or baked octopus) is a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, konnyaku, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (aonori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings), originated in Osaka. Making takoyaki requires a takoyaki pan, a special frying pan made of cast iron with hemispherical molds. There is a similarly named dish called ikayaki but it is a broiled whole squid and bears no resemblance. "Yaki" is derived from "yaku" (Ä‚­, "yaku"?) which simply means "to bake or grill" in the Japanese language, and can be found in the names of other Japanese cuisine items such as teriyaki or sukiyaki.
